I am looking for a few hard to find sizes of drill bits. In a perfect world a high quality forstner bit would be perfect.. but I am striking out so any flat bottomed bit would probably work.

37/64"
19/32"
39/64"

If you know where I could get some that would be great.

Thanks.

Look for center cut end mills if you can't find drill bits. MSC or any machinst supply with carry both the drill bit and the mill cutter

I ended up finding some brad point bits at www.preferred-drillbits.com

I was hoping for forstners, but these will work ok.

Brock, I bet you could buy some slightly oversized forstners and have a machine shop turn them down to the size needed and resharpen them.
